EXCLUSIVE: Allegations the SNP accepted donations in exchange for Westminster seats are being probed by police.
Officers in Manchester have confirmed they received a complaint after the publication of the party’s accounts last week by auditors in the city.
The report was assigned a reference number and it’s understood police contacted the complainer to follow up. A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police later confirmed Police Scotland were now dealing with it. It came after the Sunday Mail revealed the party had lost 30,000 members – something which was initially denied and led to the resignation of former CEO Peter Murrell. A Police Scotland probe into SNP finances, codenamed Operation Branchform, is ongoing.
